Can you find out as much information about the new software. Not had the same issues as you but do need to give my car a blast on motorway every now and again to clear the dpf warning light.

Just had to give my SD a blast on M62 to clear dpf warning light. A few minutes after clearing dpf the adblue 1500 mile warning came on. Just ordered 10litres from Eurocarparts at £7.99 with free delivery. Only done 4600 miles. I am sure I got twice that mileage with my previous Macan before Adblue light came on so no doubt the software has been changed to increase Adblue injection into the exhaust system.

Mine is at 8200m and no sign of the AdBlue light to date. That is some 'turning up the wick' on the dispenser!
Interestingly, Audi tweaked our Q5 software to increase the AdBlue consumption, due to dieselgate, but in their case, they are providing the Refills, free of charge for the life of the vehicle.

At least Adblue is now half the price of what I paid last time.nsm3 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 8:13 pm Mine is at 8200m and no sign of the AdBlue light to date. That is some 'turning up the wick' on the dispenser!

I've only ever bought one 10L bottle in the past, around 2013/14 and it was £10 from a local Shell garage. Think it was the same stuff they put in the trucks, but without the 'fancy German car showroom tax' added?mark-yorkshire wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 11:05 pmAt least Adblue is now half the price of what I paid last time.nsm3 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 8:13 pm Mine is at 8200m and no sign of the AdBlue light to date.

Used a large lemonade bottle and a funnel to put it in the car.

I complained to Porsche GB about having to clear my DPF filter every 3 or 4 weeks by giving it a Motorway blast. Porsche say that there is a newish DME software upgrade campaign that reduces the clogging of the filter. Have booked my car in for the upgrade in December. Hope it is better than the DME software upgrade in 2017 that was applied to my last car. The OPC say that those customers that have had the new DME software have been happy.

Just a shame the software isn’t being applied a bit more pro-actively and that you had to complain to find out about it.

I had to complain to Porsche GB before I was told about the campaign. For those interested the campaign code for the latest DME upgrade is AJ07. The campaign in 2017 was WG22 - it was that software “upgrade” which was the retrograde upgrade.Paul wrote: ↑Sat Nov 24, 2018 6:45 pmInteresting to hear how that goes Mark.mark-yorkshire wrote: ↑Sat Nov 24, 2018 6:24 pm I complained to Porsche GB about having to clear my DPF filter every 3 or 4 weeks by giving it a Motorway blast.
